UBSA PRESIDENT GREEN GIVES TESTIMONY BEFORE HOUSE EDUCATION SUBCOMMITTEES
Harry G. Green, President of UBSA and Phillips Business College in Lynch-burg, Virginia, testified before the House of Representatives' General and Spe-cial Subcommittees on March 7 and 8, 1968. Accompanying Mr. Green was Richard A. Fulton, UBSA Executive Director and General Counsel.
Mr. Green's testimony before the General Subcommittee on March 7 con-cerned amendments to the Vocational Education Act and H.R. 15066. He urged the Committee to include "under contract" training in the Vocational Education Act and to include persons representative of "other institutions of higher and post-secondary education" on the State Advisory Councils, which would be reconstituted and activated by H.R. 15066.
Discussing "under contract" train-ing, Mr. Green suggested to the Com-mittee "the necessity of incorporating into H.R. 15066 a very specialized type of innovative program to get at the disadvantaged pre-vocational stu-dent which would utilize many re-sources outside the public schools through specialized techniques of 'un-der contract' training which could include, where measurable, payment related to results."
In the field of vocational scholar-ships, Mr. Green urged the Commit-tee to incorporate into the bill the system of vocational scholarships pro-posed in Congressman James H. Scheuer's (D-N.Y.) bill, H.R. 15536. (For details of Congressman Scheuer's bill, see Compass, March 1968, p. 2)
Higher Education Amendments
Mr. Green's testimony before the House Special Subcommittee on Edu-cation on March 8 concerned the Higher Education Amendments of 1968 (H.R. 15067). He requested that needy students in accredited proprietary schools be made eligible to participate in the three major programs designed for needy students —National Defense Student Loans, Educational Opportunity Grants, and Work-Study Programs.
In his statement, Mr. Green said, "I would like to make it very clear that we are not asking this Commit-tee to make a value judgment or a choice between the relative merits of independent versus public education. All we are asking is that you open up an additional avenue of opportunity for some needy students who, from our experience, we know can be well served in accredited proprietary schools."
AMENDMENT EXTENDS UBSA'S MDTA PROJECT
An amendment to UBSA's contract with the U.S. Office of Education un-der the Manpower Development and Training Act extends the existing contract to June 30, 1969. The amendment provides for an addi-tional 600 referrals to private busi-ness, trade and technical schools and involves an additional $1,356,000.00 of Federal funds.
Of the additional $1,356,000.00, $840,000.00 will be used for student allowances, $471,000.00 for tuition, and $45,000.00 for administration of the program.
The 600 student referrals will be apportioned among ten states—Ala-bama, District of Columbia, Georgia, Indiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Utah and Virginia.
Effective March 4, 1968, the amendment extends the contract which has been in effect for just over one year. Under the contract, the Federal Government pays tuition costs and living allowances for cer-tain individuals enrolled in private schools. These students are referred to the schools by their state employ-ment office.
